Feeling the archival momentum as I wrap up my time as the Archives Intern in the Conservatory of Dance at SUNY Purchase this Spring!
Here you see snapshots of Doug Varone's 1978 yearbook, which I had the pleasure of photographing last week.

Please let me know if you can identify any further students.
I have been working on this project since the fall of 2024 and feel so lucky to witness the program's history as we celebrate the 50th class of Purch grads (me!).
Archival work has certainly deepened my movement practice in a way I never would have expected. COD students: does this sounds interesting to you? Come join me!!
revisiting this one !
